- Botting and Spurway concluded that the polyphemus moth was misclassified and should be included under the genus " Antheraea ".
- A number of wild moths such as " Bombyx mandarina ", and " Antheraea " species, besides others, provide commercially important silks.
- In the 1960s, Haldane's wife, Helen Spurway, was also researching the genetics of giant silk moths of the " Antheraea " genus.
- The "'polyphemus moth "'( " Antheraea polyphemus " ) is a North American member of the family Saturniidae, the giant silk moths.
- Thus, some of the more spectacular species & ndash; in particular " Antheraea " & ndash; can be raised by children or school classes as educational pets.
- The leaves are used as food by " Antheraea paphia " ( silkworms ) which produce the tassar silk ( Tussah ), a form of commercially important wild silk.
- Using a novel technique of pheromone transfer, Botting had cross-bred an " Antheraea mylitta " female with a " Telea polyphemus " male, with viable offspring.
- In 1959, at the Indian Statistical Institute she turned her attention to the genetics of the giant silkworm " Antheraea mylitta ", raising them in captivity to test the quality of their silk.
- Many other Lepidoptera produce cocoons, but only a few the Bombycidae, in particular the " Bombyx " genus, and the Saturniidae, in particular the " Antheraea " genus have been exploited for fabric production.
- However, Botting later praised Spurway for her experiments with " Antheraea mylitta " and " Antheraea assamensis " ( which she had tried to hybridize ) and credited the Haldanes with encouraging him to accept the precepts of Darwinian evolution.

- The leaves of " Madhuca indica " ( = " M . longifolia " ) are fed on by the moth " Antheraea paphia ", which produces tassar silk, a form of wild silk of commercial importance in India.
- I happened to find a large pregnant Antheraea polyphemus moth on the underside of my car and it has layed ten or so eggs in the large net / cage I have it in ( though I was planning on letting it go before this happened ).
- In January 1961 he befriended Gary Botting, 1960 U . S . Science Fair winner in zoology ( who had first visited the Haldanes along with Susan Brown, 1960 U . S . National Science Fair winner in botany ), inviting him to share the results of his experiments hybridising Antheraea silk moths.
- There are several species of Saturniidae that also are farmed for their silk, such as the Ailanthus moth ( " Samia cynthia " group of species ), the Chinese oak silkmoth ( " Antheraea pernyi " ), the Assam silkmoth ( " Antheraea assamensis " ), and the Japanese silk moth ( " Antheraea yamamai " ).
